TUNED IN: Take A Stroll Through The Headlines

Here are some fun facts to know and share from this week’s news on High Plains Public Radio and HPPR Connect:

“Walk into your local medical clinic and you’re increasingly likely to be seen by a nurse practitioner instead of a physician. In the span of about a decade, the number graduating from nursing schools has more than tripled.”

“The market for school security products was estimated at $2.7 billion in 2017. The National Center for Education Statistics found that in the 2015-16 school year, 94% of schools reported that they controlled access to their buildings by monitoring or locking doors during school hours. 81% used security cameras to monitor hallways.”

“In touch with the world... at home on the High Plains” are the words that sum up High Plains Public Radio’s mission. To that end, we are seeking feedback from High Plains residents about the future of the place they call home. What concerns you about your community? What do you think will it look like in 10 to 20 years? Let High Plains Public Radio know. You can click here, email director@hppr.org and/or call 806-553-0919.
